  • How the swear like a Brit

    This is an international forum, with members from around the world, which I think is the cat's pajamas.

    However, language differences can lead to misunderstandings and miscommunications.

    So, in the interest of promoting and maintaining good international relations, I present you with this instructional web page:

    11 Stellar swear words that Americans should borrow...

    Be sure to watch the instructional video.
    Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.

    Thanks Corbin, instead of cleaning, I'm now going to watch every single episode of this.

      Scratches neck, a bit embarrassed.

      Um. As a Brit to Americans she rather likes. Don't do it, you just sound like bloody numptys in my experience. Probably a lot like when I say 'dude' (And I do, to my shame.)

        I'm at a loss. "Numpty" wasn't on the list...

                  Speaking totally objectively of course, your slang is much weirder than ours.

                      Sorry folks, but no one does slang quite like the Aussies...

                      A rep point to anyone who can translate the phrase "I've got the wog, been crook as a dog for three days" without Googling it.

                        Re: How the swear like a Brit

                        I know crook means ill so I'm going to guess that 'wog' is flu or similar. Which would make it 'Ive got the flu, I've been sick as a dog for three days.'

                        Try 'Yoam yampy yo am, ait?' Black country ftw!
